They don't actually think I like them, do they?

Lin Han didn't even know how to roast Xu Hui.

The girl has already taken the initiative to chat with you, and you're going to just delete her?!

Most people couldn't do something this amazing. This isn't just a matter of being single for a few years anymore; Lin Han even wanted to check if Xu Hui actually had a girlfriend!

The "lower-headed man" is criticized because he often thinks with his lower body. Xu Hui, let alone whether he has a root or not, wouldn't be so straight if he had even a layer of skin!

"Didn't you film a music video with Orange before? Theoretically, you should be quite familiar with each other. Adding each other on WeChat is a normal thing. Why don't you believe me?"

"It's impossible precisely because it's been filmed."

Thinking about this made Xu Hui feel even more upset.

He had just been betrayed by Xiaoya, which was the darkest moment of his life, and he was in a daze.

Not only did he almost injure Orange on set, but he also fully unleashed his emotions afterward, releasing his most pathetic, gloomy, and dark side through the filming process.

Even Xu Hui himself felt that the reason why "Ugly Monster" was so successful was because his miserable appearance really resonated with many people.

Having witnessed his most embarrassing moment on the spot, Orange probably wouldn't even add him on WeChat anymore; she'd probably cut all ties with him forever!

After hearing what Xu Hui said, Lin Han choked up.

After a long pause, he slowly spoke.

"You... you've fallen into your old habit again, always having so much internal monologue, and it's all pessimistic..."

"I did change, but then I met Xiaoya." Xu Hui laughed almost self-deprecatingly.

Xu Hui's efforts to change the status quo were undone by the girl in just one day.

The topic abruptly shifted to this point, and Lin Han appropriately shut up. After all, it was a painful memory that Lin Han didn't want to bring up again.

"Wait a moment."

Xu Hui raised his head and glanced at Lin Han.

How dare you say that about me?

"What?"

"Aren't you just as bad? You were practically fighting tooth and nail with Pear the other day, how come you're still making no progress? Don't tell me you don't have those kinds of feelings for Pear..."

Whenever the relationship between Lin Han and Yan Yuli is mentioned, Xu Hui can always analyze a whole bunch of things in great detail, criticizing Lin Han as utterly worthless.

"I want to clarify two things." Lin Han raised his index finger.

"First, Yan Yuli wasn't the only one who risked her life for us; Miss Mangzi was too."

"Secondly, it's not entirely without progress..."

"That's enough for you." Xu Hui was practically sweating bullets for Lin Han to see.

They're very serious when it comes to theory, but when it comes to reality, they just say, "I don't know why."

"What kind of idiotic anime protagonist are you? What's the difference between you and Aki Tomoya? Maybe shaving off your M-shaped bangs will wake you up."

"From what stand are you speaking to me?"

Lin Han was also annoyed. He could say whatever he wanted, but he couldn't be compared to that scumbag, Lun Ye.

"Then let me give you the simplest example. What about Mangzi? She went through fire and water for you, carrying explosives to save Yan Yuli. What have you done for her?"

"We made a deal, okay? I wrote a song for him..."

It seemed to be his subconscious mind at work, and Lin Han's confidence weakened considerably at this moment.

At this point, Lin Han seemed to suddenly remember something, and his voice lowered.

Writing songs?

For Mangzi, did she really care about that song written for her?

For Lin Han, the cost of writing a song is actually very low. Is it really reasonable to exchange this for Mang Zi's efforts?

Xu Hui's words made Lin Han fall into deep thought.

It's not just about trading songs.

Sometimes, Lin Han even felt that he and Mangzi were "old comrades-in-arms," and that Mangzi standing up for him was "brotherly loyalty" that didn't require any reward.

Lin Han suddenly realized that he seemed to be using these logical traps to make himself feel at ease accepting Mangzi's efforts for him.

"Can't speak anymore, huh?" Xu Hui sighed and patted Lin Han on the shoulder.

"Although I always say that you can't let Yan Yuli down, that doesn't mean you can let Mangzi down..."

"All right."

Lin Han impatiently slapped Xu Hui's hand away.

“I’ve always known about this.”

"I made an agreement with her."

.......

The plane arrived in Tokyo.

Lin Han and Xu Hui checked into the hotel that Hu Yan had arranged in advance. After putting away his luggage, Lin Han headed to Tokyo's largest stadium—the "Tokyo Dome".

There's a saying in the industry: every idol's lifelong dream is to hold a concert at the Tokyo Dome.

For idols, the Tokyo Dome is their Jerusalem.

In Sakura Province, where underground idols and school idols are rampant, there are too many unknown idols who give up their studies for their "idol dreams," go all out, train hard, and yearn to one day become real idols who can perform at the Tokyo Dome.

In reality, 98% of the girls have never even been to a proper venue, spending their days performing on stages in small underground rooms, and eventually having no choice but to retire.

These retired underground idols, lacking popularity and not having finished high school, ended up working in underground bars and maid cafes, using their "former idol" title to attract customers.

Some people can only resort to sex work or engage in prostitution in physical stores.

In the world of cherry blossoms, the word "idol" is like an addictive drug, drawing countless girls year after year. Even knowing it's a gladiatorial arena where only one in ten thousand survives, every girl believes she is that special one...

Lin Han chose this venue for AK47's debut concert—the Tokyo Dome.

However, these three girls have less stage experience than many underground idols, and are complete newcomers in the idol industry.

In fact, even new girl groups formed by large companies rarely use completely new members. Usually, the group will have several internet celebrities, solo singers, or ordinary people who have participated in dating reality shows and have a certain level of popularity.

To be able to perform at the sacred venue in the hearts of idols for the first time, there's no other reason than money.

This is actually a double-edged sword.

The fact that a rookie idol girl group is holding its first concert at Tokyo Dome is bound to attract the attention of many onlookers, especially the idols themselves.

Damn it, we've tried for so many years and still haven't been able to get into the Tokyo Dome.

You got to go on your first stage performance??

Amidst envy, jealousy, and resentment, many are actually waiting to see the AK47 make a fool of itself.

However, at least for now, they have seen it.

Hello, Ms. Orange!

Lin Han walked into the director's office, and all the staff backstage bowed respectfully to him.

Director Mu Zi walked up to Lin Han and sighed.

"Teacher Orange, with the current attendance rate, the live performance is likely to be quite dismal."

046. Live Stream Preview

As a veteran director who has planned more than 20 idol concerts, Ms. Mu Zi has a wealth of work experience and has seen all kinds of concert scenes.

However, she had never actually seen a rookie idol hold a concert at Tokyo Dome before!

The venue, which can hold 55,000 people, was less than a quarter full. As a director, this was a rather thorny problem.

It's embarrassing for a director to hold a concert like this, especially at the Taipei Arena!

In fact, the entire directing team is now somewhat devastated by this incident, and many people have even started to lose their temper.

This is why the production team was in a hurry to have someone from Jusheng Media come over to make contact, but they didn't expect that Juzi Jiang would come in person.

Just as Miss Mu was overwhelmed with worry about this matter, her brows furrowed, not knowing how to confide in Lin Han...

Just then, Lin Han grasped Mu Zi's hand and placed it against his chest.

Mu Zi was stunned.

Lin Han looked directly into her eyes, a slight smile on his clean face, and said softly,

"Miss Mu Zi, I'm entrusting everything to you."

Mu Zi's face flushed red instantly, and she quickly looked away.

"Tachibana...Teacher Tachibana, don't get your hopes up too high..."

"I believe you can do it!" Lin Han's eyes were sincere and burning.

"I...I can't do it..."

"You can do it!" Lin Han said firmly.

Finally, Miss Mu trembled and went limp. She turned her head back and looked at Lin Han cautiously.

The voice carried a hint of shyness:

"I...I will do my best."

The directors standing nearby were all stunned.

The usually aloof and decisive female director Mu Zi actually has such a shy side!

"Everyone too."

After speaking, Lin Han turned his head and smiled at everyone.

"Brothers, let's keep going! I'll always stand with you!"

In an instant, the entire office was filled with excitement, and everyone was fired up.

That's orange marmalade!

Everyone was moved to tears. The dignified Orange Jam, without the slightest airs, called his group of low-level, behind-the-scenes workers "brothers," and said they would stand together forever!

This has to be to my good brother's satisfaction!

In an instant, the entire production team was fired up.

Everyone regained their enthusiasm and threw themselves into their busy work.

......

Before we knew it, it was December 3rd.

The weather forecast said the sky was clear and cloudless, making it a good day for a large event.

It's just dawn.

"Boom boom boom!"

"Thump thump thump thump!!!"

At six o'clock, there was a loud knocking on Lin Han's hotel room door.　

"Who?"

Lin Han rubbed his sleepy eyes and reluctantly got out of bed.
